Yes folks Jim is eating Humble Pie and Crow today. [:(] [V] <br /> <br /> <br />After making such comments that UP RR didn't have the class to purchase a good sounding horn I have learned firsthand the truth. THEY HAVE AND DO. <br /> <br />Today I heard a good sounding horn and since I was going to make a trip to the store I made a sidetrip to the tracks to see what I thought was going to be a Southern Pacific unit leading a UP train westbound. When I arrived I found a spot to see the tracks and train. Low and behold the train comes by. Guess what? The lead engine was not a S P engine but a UP engine. [B)] [:0] <br /> <br />I had to pinch myself because this JUST had to be a dream. [8D] It wasn't a dream. The lead engine was UP 4373 which is an SD70M. I still can't believe it. I was SURE this was going to be a Southern Pacific unit or another railroads engine just being used by UP. I was wrong. [:(] <br /> <br />Now from the ground view I had I couldn't see the horn. Does anyone know what horn these units have? It does sound much better than the horn on the GE units pulling UP coal trains. <br /> <br />BTW, Lunch is at 1 and supper will be at 5. Come join me for my crow eating party. [dinner]
